About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 8 years old and have experience with walking, feeding, playtime, bathing, medications, and providing loving, dependable care for dogs of all sizes. I am currently a stay-at-home mom trying to make a little extra money while providing reliable, loving, genuine, and flexible pet care services locally for my community. I care for every pet with patience, attention, and love, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while following their normal routines, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special care instructions.

About: I grew up with a Chow until I was twelve. I've taken care of Husky's, Pits, Poodles and German Shepards. I love caring for dogs, playing with them, making sure they're fed, walked, and generally cared about. I work part-time at a local Co-Op. I am available most of the time in the afternoon or evening. I enjoy pet care as a gig job because it gives me the opportunity to care for animals in my local community, while also getting to help out my neighbors! I don't have a dog, but have cared for many. Some were surprises, some were expected. There's a dog park nearby my house, the neighborhood dogs are friendly, and the owners are responsible with them about interaction.
About: I've always had a deep love for animals, and when it comes to dogs, I believe they deserve to be as pampered as if they were in their own home! Growing up with four dogs, I cherished the moments we spent playing in the backyard and the joy they showed when it was time for their tasty treats after dinner! Since I work from home, your beloved pet will have companionship throughout the day! I promise to shower them with the same love and special attention that I give my own puppy, ensuring they feel right at home. We have a cozy house with a fenced yard, perfect for letting your furry friend roam and play, and I’m dedicated to taking them on daily walks to explore the neighborhood. Plus, my fiancé is home by 3 PM, so there’s always an extra set of hands to help with playtime and cuddles! Your pet will truly be treated like family here!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a young child. I’ve had the pleasure also of helping my mother with foster pets and training my own dog, Roxi from a pup. My husband and I love hanging out with our fur babies by going on hikes (now short walks around the block), cozying up on the couch together. Our family includes Roxi (14 yo dog), Winnie (1 yo cat), and our elder bearded dragon, Killa (15 yo). When taking care of the pets at our home, I make sure all the animals have been fed and have full & clean water bowls. Cleaning the litter box, and making sure Winnie has wet food in the morning. I give my Roxi baths when needed and give her daily medication. When I take care of pets at a clients home, I make sure they are fed, have water and I will either play with them outside (weather permitting), go on walks, and play or cuddle inside on the couch. For dog walking: I will great your pet with love as I’m sure they’re sad your away, then let them out to play (if allowed) to stretch the legs, or directly take them out for a stroll (rain or shine) unless bad weather. I have a towel to dry if needed. I’m very experienced with dog walking given my past experiences volunteering with local animal shelters such as AAF and AFHS. Currently working part time and looking for income taking care of animals, I’ve had a passion for taking care of care of animals like family. I would like to fill my time while looking for a full time job by taking care of my community four legged friends. I respect the pet parents home by leaving it the way I found it, clean up any accidents I see, and inform owner if any concerns that arise.
About: I live with a poodle and am experienced in daily pet care, including walking, feeding, and companionship. I have also cared for dogs, cats, and birds, and take pride in providing reliable, loving care. I am currently flexible at the moment. This is because I am currently an Independent Contractor Full time. Monday - Sunday works great for me. I am willing to offer service at the pet parents home. I am open to dogs, cats and birds. Any other animal I would be willing to discuss
About: I'm looking forward to hearing from you. I hope I can be of service to you when you need someone to watch your pet(s). You can let me know what their day to day routine is so that I can give them the care that they need. I don't have any pets of my own at this time but over the past twenty five years that I've lived here I've had both dogs and cats and even chickens. Even though I live out here in the country I'm usually within a thirty-minute drive or less from the Cincinnati area. We can discuss more in detail when we talk or text or do our meet and greet. Thanks. Make sure your pet(s) are up to date on their flea and tick treatments. I do work during the week but I am available to care for your pet(s) all day Wenesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. I enjoy taking daily walks outside and getting exercise with the dogs. We play ball and play with whatever toys you bring over while we are inside. I make sure they are safe and well cared for the entire stay. I am home all day on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. We will have plenty of time to get outdoors for walks and potty breaks. I keep the dogs on leashes while we take our walks but I also have a tie cable I can put them on so we can stay out for awhile.
“Callie was great with communication and solved a problem with a food mixup to make sure our dogs were taken care of. She is definitely someone I recommend for drop in support. Thanks Callie!”
“I liked Chloe the minute I met her. She came over for a pre visit to meet my cats and learn about their routine. Ava and Tucker warmed up to her right away and I knew they would be in good hands. Chloe arrived on schedule for four mornings and five evenings to feed, play with and attend the litter box. When I arrived home from my trip, the house was in order, and everything looked as I left it. I’ll definitely request Chloe again. 🏠😸👍🏻👍🏻”
“We had a great experience with our drop-in visits! Communication was excellent, our dog was well cared for, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. It gave us peace of mind knowing our pup was in good hands. We’d absolutely book again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 15 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Charlottesville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
